*I would really love some reviews. :)
Salvatore Boarding house, next morning.
Damon sits up in bed and sees Rose slipping into her shirt. She notices and smiles at him, motioning to the door, so he focuses his hearing on Elijah speaking.
Rose had been very surprised to learn the truth about the curse, that it was a lie.
"Let's go." Damon told Rose, and they walked downstairs.
"Klaus is a vampire born of werewolf bloodline. The curse has kept his werewolf aspect from manifesting." They heard Elijah say. "but if he breaks it, he'll be a true hybrid."
"Then why are we even letting him break it? We kill him now with Bonnie he can't ever be a hybrid."
Rose thought Damon made sense. She was pretty sure the Winchesters would agree, last thing they needed was a were-vamp running around.
"Because Bonnie can't use that much power without dying." Elena said.
Oh yeah...there was that. There was still the Colt.
"I'll write her a great eulogy." Damon said. Not that he wanted Bonnie to die, but if it had to be done...
"Not an option." Elena argued.
Rose felt stuck. Stefan was clearly with Elena and Elijah, Damon was completely on the opposite end...and here she was stuck in the middle. Damon was right, they really needed to take out Klaus now...but Bonnie was a person, Elena's friend.
"The Winchester's gun...it was plan B next to Bonnie, why can't it be option 1 instead?"Rose suggested.
Elijah looked at her. What gun? he thought.
"Because we don't know if it will work." Stefan said.
"Just like we don't know if any of this will work." She countered.
"Look, how do we break the curse?" Stefan asked Elijah, not bothering to argue back with her or Damon.
"You already know all the ingredients for the ritual." Elijah said. "Once the moon is full a witch will channel power and release the spell bound within the moonstone, and then Klaus has to sacrifice both a werewolf and a vampire."
"And?" Damon asked.
"Where do I come in?" Elena asked.
"Klaus has to drink from you to the point of your death." Elijah said, and took out a box.
Damon looks at Elijah like he has two heads. Rose looks at the ground.
Elijah took out a bottle from the box. "This is an elixir, 500 years ago I had it ready for Katerina...it'll bring you back."
"But I'll be dead?"
"At first."
Rose took hold of Damon's arm when it looked like he was either going to attack Elijah or pass out one.
"So that's the big plan, a magical witch potion?" Damon asked, rolling his eyes. "I don't like it."
"So what, it doesn't work and Elena's just dead?" Rose asked. For the first time she noticed that Elena looked scared...normally she surpressed it but Rose could now see it on her face.
"It will work." Elijah answered.
"And if not?"
"Then I die." Elena said.
Damon glared at her, and finally left the room. There was a knock at the door.
Rose walked to the door and found Dean...finally. She opened the door to let him in.
"Where's Sam?" She asked him after noticing he was alone.
"Motel. Where are we on this Klaus thing."
"I'll explain...I'll follow you to your motel."
Everyone here was in a panic and she thought it best to fill the boys in by herself before adding them to the mix of people trying to figure out what to do.
"Okay..." he said, and turned to leave.
lllllllllllllllllllll
Motel.
Dean and Rose walked into the room, Sam was at the small desk doing research.
"What's going on here?" Rose asked.
"Crowley...still trying to find him. He and Bobby are worried Cas isn't telling us something." Dean answered. "Not important, explain."
"Ok, first the curse was a lie."
"What do you mean? There's no curse, then what are we..."
"No, there is a curse...just not one that can free vampires to walk in the sun and the werewolves to turn whenever. The only curse is on Klaus himself...to keep him from being able to turn into a werewolf."
"I'm sorry...I thought Klaus was an alpha vampire?"
"He is...he's both."
"What?" Sam asked surprised, looking up at them.
"According to Elijah, Klaus is a vampire but his father was a werewolf, so the curse put upon him was to make sure his werewolf side couldn't come out."
"Did you say Elijah?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, Elena brought him back."
Dean sighed. This was all nuts.
"So what happens now?"
"Elijah's plan is to kill Klaus during the ritual to break the curse because he'll be weak then...but we have to let Elena sacrifice herself. He says he has a way to bring her back."
"No...why the hell would we sit around and wait for him to break this curse and kill a human girl?"
"I know, and Damon feels the same way. Elena's trusting Elijah though, and we can't convince her otherwise."
"So I say we just go find Klaus and put a bullet from the Colt in his head, and the chop his head of just in case."
Rose laughed a little.
"If that's your big plan you may want to hurry...Klaus is currently getting the werewolf and vampire he needs to sacrifice. Not to mention he's smart and hard to find. Your problem may be getting to him without him knowing."
"Can you find him?"
"I can try. I'll go to my car..."
"Why are we here and not at their place?" Sam asked.
"Look, Damon wants to use Bonnie over the gun...Elena and Stefan are going with Elijah's plan...so let's just say we're kind of on our own. You're going to have to do this yourself. I'll tell Damon about our plan, but if he thinks it'll put Elena at risk at all he won't go for it, and I don't blame him."
"Okay." Sam said. "We do our own thing, they do theirs. We're going to need you to keep us in the loop on what's going on."
She nodded.
"You can go back, they probably need you. Just send us the location when you get it." Dean said.
"Okay." Rose agreed, and started walking out. Dean followed her out.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Getting food, not going with you chill. You're jumpy."
"We all are. Besides I don't like keeping this from Damon."
"Wow, Bela has a problem with lying...that's something I have trouble believing."
"Maybe if it wasn't Damon...but he needs me, trusts me."
As she was about to get back into her vehicle she turns to him.
"So what Castiel?"
"I don't know, it's Cas, he's practically family so I have to think they're wrong."
"Look...just so you know, when he offered to make me human he said that there were things you and Sam didn't need to know. I'm sure he isn't helping Crowley, but maybe he does know something..."
"He said that?"
"Yeah."
"I didn't keep helping because Cas asked me to, I did it because I thought I could ease some of my guilt of the past. So if something happens you need to go to Cas and find that he is up to something, I won't stop you, even if it means I'll never be human again."
Dean nodded. "I don't think it'll come to that...but thanks."
She got into her car and headed back to the house.
Salvatore House
Rose walked into the boarding house to find Elena, Elijah, Stefan, Alaric, and Jenna all in the room together. She would assume since everyone was calm that Alaric was back to himself.
"What's going on?"
"He let me go." Alaric told her.
"And apparently the sacrifice goes down tonight." Elena said.
Rose sighed and took out her phone, sending a message to Dean.
Alaric's back to normal, according to Klaus the sacrifice happens tonight. Think of something fast, I'll try to find him.
"Katherine's there." Alaric said.
"We know." Rose replied. "Damon and I gave her vervain...but she still can't leave yet."
"Where is Damon?" Elena asked.
"Saw him go upstairs." Jenna answered. Elena looked to Rose like she wondered if Rose would go get him...but she didn't move. Instead Rose looked at Elena and mentally let her know that this time Elena was the one who needed to go talk to him.
llllllllllllllllllllllllll
Rose walked to the other room, pulled out her map and started searching for Klaus. She let her hearing drift to upstairs where Damon and Elena were.
"It's my life, my choice." she heard Elena say.
"I can't lose you."
"You won't."
"You can't say that for sure."
Damon thought to what Rose had said earlier. He was scared...he'd never been this scared in all his years. He made a point in pretending to never be scared, and here he was dying inside.
"No, I can't. You're just going to have to have faith."
"Forgive me if I can't."
She nodded, and walked away.
"There's another way." Damon said, following her out. She turned to him, and sees him hold out his wrist, the veins under his eyes showing.
"Damon, no...don't ask me to do that."
"You'd come back atleast..."
"No."
She shook her head. He had to know she didn't want to be a vampire.
Rose heard them...she new what Damon was offering. She knew how Elena felt too. Lexi hadn't given Rose a choice, and now she had to make sure Damon didn't do that to Elena if it wasn't what Elena wanted.
She blurred her way to his room, and stood in the hall. Damon saw her, and he wanted to be angry for her interruption but he couldn't. He knew Rose would disagree. Hell he knew Elena wouldn't be okay with it, but every instinct he had told him to just take his blood and shove it down Elena's throat to make sure she wouldn't leave him. He just couldn't do it, so he pulled his arm away. Elena let out her breath, she had feared Damon would do it.
"Sorry." he said. He wasn't sorry for wanting to save her, but he didn't want her angry with him right now.
Elena nodded. "Trust in me." She whispered as she left the room and passed Rose.
Damon looked up at Rose, she just shook her head. Damon turned back around. Rose didn't go to him this time, he had to figure things out himself. She made her way back to find Klaus.
End Chapter.
